ok, this is a really weird story ... please bare with me.

      a long time ago (15 years ago, to be exact), this rock producer named Sharon Tendler met a dolphin in Israel.  the dolphin was in one of those dolphin performance park things. 

     the dolphin's name was Cindy.  it was a male dolphin.  probably, it did not appreciate being called Cindy, but it really had no way of telling anybody about this.  or who knows, maybe it liked the name Cindy. who can say?  the heart of dolphins is a mysterious thing.

   apparently, so is the heart of rock producers named Sharon Tendler.  Sharon decided that she was in love with Cindy, and for the last 15 years came to "visit"  Cindy two to three times a year.  Sharon felt great peace while she swam with Cindy.

   last year, Sharon decided she wanted to marry Cindy.  they had a ceremony, and Cindy had some of his dolphin friends act as his groom's men.  Sharon wore white and a garland of flowers.  i kid you not:

  sadly, this love story has an unhappy ending.  Cindy recently became ill, and would not eat.  he was seen vomiting, and did not look healthy.  this past june 18, Cindy died.  Cindy was burried at sea by aquarium workers.
